Class of 2013 Survey
Class of 2013 First Destination Survey – Executive Summary
ABOUT THE SURVEY
The purpose of the annual first destination survey is to capture information on the employment and graduate
school status of Messiah College alumni within six to nine months of graduation. For the purposes of this
survey, the “Class of 2013” is defined as anyone who graduated in December 2012, May 2013, or August
2013.
Statistics provided are based on information received through a variety of methods. An electronic survey was
created using Qualtrics, and distributed in May and October via email. Data was also gathered from 2013
graduates who attended the “Zero-Year Reunion” at Homecoming. Follow up emails were then sent in
November and December to alumni who had not yet responded to the survey. In January, individual
academic departments were contacted via phone or email, and a request was distributed to all Messiah
College educators for any additional information on graduates whose status remained unknown. Finally,
information on non-responders was then gathered from updated professional profiles on social media sites
such as LinkedIn. It is important to note that the collection process and reporting summary of results adheres to
the professional guidelines set forth by NACE (the National Association for Colleges and Employers).
Through this extensive process, we obtained a 76 % knowledge rate of the Class of 2013. (“Knowledge
rate” is defined by NACE as the “percent of graduates for which an institution has reasonable and verifiable
information concerning the graduates’ post-graduation career activities”). The 76% knowledge rate is a 6%
increase from last year’s report of the Class of 2012.
The goal of this report is to provide summary highlights, as well as a breakdown by academic department, of
the post-graduate activity for the Class of 2013.
GENERAL SUMMARY
Graduates of the Class of 2013 were asked to identify their primary status 6 to 9 months after graduation.
